7.4 Managing business groups
Using IM Configuration Management, you can monitor multiple monitored hosts by grouping them as individual business systems or as monitoring targets managed by individual system administrators. A unit of hosts grouped based on a certain objective is called a business group. In the Event Console window (Central Console) or the Monitoring Tree window (Central Scope), you can manage the scope of JP1 events that can be viewed and the scope of monitoring settings that can be operated on for individual business groups. These permitted scopes are called a view permission and operating permission respectively. By restricting the view permission and operating permission for business groups, you can monitor and handle individual business groups differently.
